I find this so stupid. Yes some people are not influenced by ads. I don't shop at a food store due to its ads. I never saw an ad for a steamdeck or an acer laptop. I don't eat fastfood now due to expense but the ads did nothing more than at best tell me of some new item which I might try. Im looking around my house and I can't think of any ad that correlates to the stuff I own. By and large everything was comparison shopped for aspects I wanted vs price.
The point of an ad is sometimes just to get the company name into your brain. Then at some point in the future, you're thinking that you need a new couch, and your brain knows what couch companies exist. You feel like you came up with the idea on your own and that ad don't affect you. But it did.
You are literally describing the middle person in this meme.
oh yeah. I don't think adds don't effect me in terms of knowing something exists over not knowing they exist but its ineffective for purchase decision.
